Sham Legal Battle Over Back Taxes In Clarke County
Clarke county authorities press back tax claims against Southern Mutual Insurance Company of Athens. Executions levied on the company’s buildings and furniture as the state seeks more than 198 thousand dollars in principal and interest, with the insurer contesting liability and arguing payments have complied with tax law for 22 years. The case hinges on a Supreme Court ruling about exemptions for building and loan firms and whether ad valorem taxes apply. The company maintains any required back taxes would be limited to a few years and would be covered by reserves if due.
